Step 3: Create a Pipeline

A pipeline manages the jobs that transcode your files. Typically, you'll create two
or more pipelines, for example, to
manage standard-priority jobs and high-priority jobs. In this example, you'll create
a single pipeline. For more information
about pipelines, see Working with Pipelines.

If you want to monitor the progress of your job, specify the Amazon Simple Notification
Service (Amazon SNS) topic that you
want to notify when Elastic Transcoder begins processing a job and when Elastic
Transcoder has completed the
job.
